DRAFT – Presentation Materials are Preliminary, Confidential and Subject to Further Revisions P R O J E C T T E M P E S T EPAM 5/9 Earnings Release and Market Impact ($ in millions except per share values unless otherwise stated) EPAM Systems lowered its FY2024 Revenue guidance, citing macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds; shares fell 27% on the news EPAM Systems – Ǫ1’24 Earnings Select Management Commentary So u r c e : 1 Co m pa n y f ili ng s a n d F a c t S e t a s of 5 / 9 /2024. Previous guidance called for 1 - 4% Revenue growth in 2024 (2.5% midpoint) with negligible contribution from currency effects and a “minimal” contribution from acquisitions. Revised guidance calls for a 1.4% decline, or 2.0% on an organic, constant currency basis. Calculated as 5/9/2024 closing share price vs. 5/8/2024 closing share price. Calculated as 5/9/2024 implied EV / CY2024E EBITDA multiple vs. 5/8/2024 implied EV / CY2024E EBITDA multiple. 2 3  Revised FY’24 guidance down due to continued global volatility that led to “client demand not improving to the degree originally expected” as EPAM enters Ǫ2  Macro and geopolitical factors affecting both overall markets and IT services / digital transformation markets now expected to continue through 2024  Previously anticipated Revenue acceleration in second half of the year not expected to materialize  Revenue growth slowdown is requiring a rebalance of delivery platform towards lower cost locations  Lower utilization and ongoing pricing pressure will continue to negatively impact Gross Margin EPAM Systems – Ǫ 1 ’ 24 Earnings Results and Guidance vs . Consensus Comparison  EPAM reported Ǫ 1 Results, approximately in line with expectations for Revenue ( $ 1 , 165 m reported vs . $ 1 , 161 m analyst consensus) and beating expectations for Non - GAAP EBIT ( $ 174 m vs . $ 163 m consensus) and Non - GAAP EBIT margins ( 15 % vs . 14 % consensus)  Full year 2024 guidance was slightly lifted for Non - GAAP EBIT margins (new range of 15 . 0 - 15 . 5 % , up from 14 . 5 - 15 . 5 % ) but the downgrade to Revenue drove the market reaction  New full year Revenue growth guidance (at the midpoint) calls for a 2.0% decline vs. previous guidance of 2.5% growth 1  Midpoint of 2024 Revenue guidance is now $4,625m, 3.8% below analyst consensus of $4,807m prior to the earnings announcement 1 - Day Rea c t io n s : Thu 5/ 9 v s .
